Qutlu Arslan was a politician and statesman of the Kingdom of Georgia during the 12th century who led an 1184 rebellion against unlimited royal power.

Biography
Qutlu Arslan was born in the Kingdom of Georgia to a family of Kipchaks that had been assimilated into Georgian culture, descended from the Turks that settled in the realm of King David IV of Georgia. He represented ennobled commoners and military servicemen under King George III of Georgia, whom he served as his vizier. In 1184, he rebelled against Queen Tamar of Georgia with the goal of creating a parliamentary-style legislature, and he was arrested. However, his supporters forced her to free him, although they never forced the government to become a constitutional monarchy.
